Job description

This is a hands-on press office role for someone at the start of their PR career who wants real ownership and the opportunity to build strong media relationships in a fast-moving fintech and financial services business.

The Press Officer will help protect and grow Dynamic Planner’s profile across the financial services trade press and support our ambition to build greater national media awareness. You will own the day-to-day press office: developing stories, pitching to journalists, managing editorial opportunities, coordinating comment, supporting research and data-led PR, and ensuring we maintain a consistent pipeline of proactive media activity.

You will work closely with the Marketing Director, senior leaders, subject matter experts, content and product marketing teams to turn Dynamic Planner’s expertise, data, research, customer momentum and product innovation into credible stories that journalists want to cover. Key themes include AI (Advice-grade AI) and the future of advice, financial wellbeing, investment services, adviser technology, risk and suitability, targeted support and the advice gap.

Although this is a junior role it is not a purely administrative one. We are looking for someone proactive, organised and confident enough to pick up the phone, build relationships and keep activity moving. You will receive support and development, while being expected to grow quickly into the day-to-day owner of Dynamic Planner’s press office.

Competencies (knowledge/skills/experience)

Key stakeholders

I never feel like a number on a spreadsheet. And I love being able to work flexibly. I start my day at 8am. I’m a morning person. That really suits me.

Product Owner

The company is the right size that there’s plenty of interesting stuff going on, but small enough that you can take ownership of things.
